Chapter 294: Goblin's Try

Luo Zhengdao decided to invite the black dragon to be a thug, this is a beginning, it is imperative to destroy the restoration project of the Second Goblin Empire to the fortress area of the Shelanhe River, but the words of the fierce and dangerous soldiers are not to scare children, it is inevitable to accidentally injure innocents in a large-scale battle, Luo Zhengdao does not want to dirty his hands, and the importance of maintaining a good reputation for a political figure is as important as half a life!

If the mercenaries do the work for them, things will be much simpler and more practical, as one of the five-colored dragons, the black dragon is a notorious monster, the second goblin empire is fighting with it, both sides are not good birds, and those victims who were involved in the war can't complain about Luo Zhengdao, even if things start because of him. If you don't have a good reason, don't get your hands dirty, that's the most basic political consciousness.

The goblins have a hard time, and since the battle of the incredible turning point like a miracle, the goblins who are rushing forward lack the time to accumulate the foundation and the necessary social environment to cultivate high-end combat power.

That's right, the amount of resources consumed to feed a few elite individuals is even more exaggerated than that of an army that feeds tens of thousands of people, and has been driven by the human army to drill ravines all day long, where does the turtle goblin tribe have such a surplus? I don't know how many geniuses who are known as the stars of tomorrow finally fall quietly on the road to the peak of the arduous trek, and only on the pile of corpses and bones can a real strong man stand up, there is a joke that it is very good, the genius who dies is not a real genius.

In this regard, the dragon's talent advantage is too perverted, even if the dragon is lazy by nature lying motionless all day long, playing with winter and March when spring is sleepy and autumn is lacking and summer napping and can't wake up, they will still gradually become stronger.

With no training or learning, the knowledge and experience gained by the dragon from the genetic memories of its ancestors is enough to support a young dragon to grow into a terrifying killing machine. Not only that, but the innate ability to cast spells makes the young dragon initially have the necessary prerequisites to become a spellcaster as soon as it leaves the protection of the dragon egg, if it weren't for the low fecundity of the Aragami Curse Guide, which made the dragon lose its aggressiveness, no matter how vast the new world is, it probably won't be the turn of other races.

"Hmm, hasn't that black dragon done it yet? Greenskin actually had time to come to me for trouble. ”

The small annoyance that Luo Zhengdao faced was indeed not a big problem, in fact, he could guess that the goblins would not be satisfied with such a soft and powerless retaliatory measure as mobilizing human slaves to repair the fortress area of the Shelan River with high intensity. Attacking an unarmed slave is considered a long face? How can this kind of non-professional abuse of vegetables show the martial arts and courageous spirit of the Second Goblin Empire!

Regardless of whether or not they are sure of victory, the Goblin Fleet will have to fight again on the Funayama Islands where Will Needham's party is entrenched. The initial motive for instigating the war was not to consider the possibility of success at the military level, but that the goblin court had to give public opinion from all sides inside and outside the country a reasonable reason to give it, so that people could not feel that the second goblin empire was in a state of decline, and any cat or dog could come to the door to spread wild.

Soon, the detailed reconnaissance report was also delivered, Luo Zhengdao carefully read the contents, and said in surprise:

"A squad of Thunder Eagles? What are the goblins thinking? ”

The Thunderhawk is a formidable bird of prey surrounded by bright blue lightning, and is a favorite pet of the Storm Giants for nesting on the peaks of wind-howling mountains or steep coastal cliffs.

Before today, Luo Zhengdao had never heard that the goblins had also mastered the high-end technology of the Thunder Eagle domestication, and it seemed that those greenskins had negotiated a good deal with the allies of the Yogyakarta Kingdom at a good price, and those giants dared to sell anything, and they were not afraid that they would suffer if things got bigger.

The speed of the adult Thunderhawk skimming the sky is extremely fast, and it does not require any detailed counting, and it can be seen by visual inspection alone, at least nearly twice as fast as the average pirate fighter. To put it bluntly, it is not a problem for those goblin air cavalry riding Thunder Eagle to fly around the sluggish pirate fighters, the speed gap between the two sides has widened to such a huge point, as the slower side, they can basically only obediently hold their heads and squat and be beaten with peace of mind, and the hundreds of pirate fighters responsible for guarding the Chuanshan Islands were forced by dozens of Thunder Eagle air cavalry to hide in the hangar on the ground and dare not rise to the air to meet the battle.

If it weren't for the fact that the defense system of the Chuanshan Islands had already taken shape, and the dense anti-aircraft fire network covering the airspace of the islands could be called a death trap, the goblin air cavalry, which had mastered the air supremacy on the battlefield, would have run to the top of Luo Zhengdao's head early in the morning to show off his might.

The current situation is urgent, but it has not reached the point of being out of control, the construction of the position of the magic card master is not a political achievement project with a face swipe, Luo Zhengdao does not take the initiative to activate these abilities, and the hidden special means will not automatically reveal the killing intention. Now, what makes him struggle is whether to take the risk of invoking the curse of the Aragami to fight for this breath? Worth it or not, that's the question!

The effect can be called the curse of the desolate god of the pit father plus the third level, and the sequelae are extremely terrifying, the kind of terrible lesson that is so painful that the bearer will never forget it, Luo Zhengdao, who has repeatedly used himself as a guinea pig to tempt, is not strange. In previous situations, he came under the premise that life and death were hanging by a thread, and he could only fight to the death to find a way out, and he didn't want to be in it for the sake of face, which was not in line with Luo Zhengdao's values. After a little entanglement, he quickly put all the thoughts of the enemy behind him, anyway, the worst situation is just a shame, and he can't afford to risk his life to fight the goblins* to the end.

If it's not the second protagonist of the dragon and the sky, if you have nothing to do, you can play explosive seeds with the enemy, and it seems that you can count on a golden finger to save your life when the sky falls, and it's best to cherish your own life, and the traverser is not invulnerable!

As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet? Those who like to play with their lives often will definitely end up playing with their own lives, and there is a limit to what they can't do. Having said that, Luo Zhengdao's mood was still aggrieved, and the taste of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles made him very unhappy!

"Your Highness, this place is very dangerous, please go back to the headquarters as much as possible."

It is an extremely dangerous move to go to the front-line positions on the battlefield with only a few followers to inspect the situation, and the so-called front-line battlefield is a place where the enemy may attack at any time and the own army may not be able to hold it. Assuming that the goblins knew that the titular supreme leader of the human exiles was at hand, they would not hesitate to kill them, no matter how much casualties the assault would cost. Therefore, it is not so much that these front-line commanders are worried about Luo Zhengdao's life, but rather that they are expressing some kind of dissatisfaction with the unobtrusive and casual behavior of His Royal Highness the Regent.

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao waved his hand with a smile, he approached the artillery mirror, and said slowly while looking at the movement of the goblin:

"Don't scare me with such words, what dangerous place haven't I been to?"

Since there was a spear in this world, and then there was a shield, so the contradiction is always a pair of twins who follow each other like a shadow. Before Luo Zhengdao developed cheap and practical pirate fighters, the air cavalry of the New World mostly stayed at small-scale tasks such as serving as honor guards, or serving as outpost reconnaissance and VIP protection for the army. Following the end of the First Goblin Empire, the Air Force was once again recalled to the battlefield as an independent service, which is undoubtedly the credit of Luo Zhengdao the Traverser. There is a saying that whatever the enemy has, we must have as well. This is the way of thinking of ordinary soldiers, and those weapons researchers with a more long-term vision will tend to develop a weapon that restrains the superiority of the opponent, and in view of the trend that the air force has begun to become popular, the research and development of air defense weapons has also been enthusiastically pursued.

Ballistas, rotary guns, slingshots, surface-to-air rockets, all kinds of new and old styles of anti-aircraft weapons have been added to the equipment sequence, and no one is sure which weapon can effectively resist the air force, so they have to cast a wide net to try their luck!

After looking at the position for a while, Luo Zhengdao turned back to the commanders and said:

"Can our anti-aircraft weapons hit those Thunderhawks?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present hurriedly shook their heads and explained:

"No way, the goblin air cavalry is cunning, unless you agree with us to push out the new anti-aircraft guns, no other weapons pose a threat."

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao, who raised his hand and touched his chin, raised his eyebrows, and then he showed a malicious smile and said:

"Well, okay! I agreed. ”

Light firepower below 2-pounder guns is almost useless gadgets for the navy, fighting ships is the same as tickling, there is no other use except bullying infantry in broadside battles, and the sea battle of real knives* depends on whose artillery caliber is larger and the body is longer, those guns placed on both sides of the ship are enough, and the light small guns are useless except for abusing vegetables and dealing with enemy troops who are fighting in gangs. However, for the air defense forces, this weight of artillery is already very powerful, the new 2-pounder gun no longer uses the old solid stone projectile, but instead fires all-metal fixed ammunition, both the rate of fire and the lethality have undergone earth-shaking changes, the main disadvantage is the speed of consumption like burning money.

Taking into account the extremely fast movement of the target during anti-aircraft firing, unusually demanding requirements were placed on the accuracy of artillery fire and the ability to fire continuously. In order to meet these needs, the 2-pounder anti-aircraft gun abandoned the cheap and readily available traditional stone bullets, and the * version of the metal shell stone warhead ammunition was also phased out, firing only all-metal bullet fixed ammunition that could no longer be recycled.

Assuming that an anti-aircraft gun fires for one minute of continuous fire, the converted cost of shells can wipe out the entire property of a middle-income family, and the rate at which a professional arsonist burns money is really embarrassing for any commander. Needless to say, with Luo Zhengdao's status, the act of burning money has become a minor problem in many cases, not hundreds of thousands of gold coins, but just a number in his eyes.

Immediately, Luo Zhengdao pointed to the goblin Thunder Eagle Sky Cavalry roaring and soaring on the opposite side with a stern expression, and said:

"Order our fighters to take off and lead the goblin air cavalry into the ambush circle."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Compared to the mud-legged infantry who trekked on the ground and sailors who sailed to sea, the air cavalry was a natural aristocratic class, and even according to the most conservative estimates, the money needed to feed one air cavalry was enough to support ten times the number of navies and a hundred times the number of land forces. If the death of a group of infantry and sailors is not a big deal, then the loss of a group of air cavalry is definitely a huge loss that can make the commander have the urge to grab the ground with his head.
